How do I make 2.0 look and act like 1.4?

I much prefer 1.4.10. It looks better. But with Last.fm cutting off their legacy streams and 1.4 unable to use XSPF I am stuck with using 2.0 to listen to last.fm streams.

I'm currently using 2.0-SVN-Neon. I find the interface absolutely horrible - the 1.4 interface was much nicer. Is there some way of transferring the interface over?

short answer: no.
long answer: still no, sorry!

I don't agree. Now there is no easy way of doing this, but I can think of the following ways to at least come closer:

- Changing the color scheme to blue (think it's possible through some settings file or similar - don't know how or if this is easy)
- Reorganizing the panels so that they are more like amarok 1.4's
- Developing a custom panel that mimics the 1.4 play/pause buttons + statusbar - and put that at the bottom of the screen
- Branching 2.0 and create a modified Amarok version that aims to mimic the 1.4 interface

So, the core devs aren't going to put energy put this, but this is open source, so any interested group can go together and make this possible.

Cheers!

Thanks for the constructive criticism. It's really welcome.


PS: I find you horrible.
